Gorgeous Georgia

 We dilly-dallied, researched, analyzed, talked, debated, slept-over and finally in June decided to hurry & move to Georgia. We made it on-time to start school in first week of August.

The first week flew by. By second week, I was cursing the narrow roads and the greenery.
"Why does it have to be so thick green everywhere ? I can hardly see the upcoming traffic signal or any curve up ahead. So much greenery."
"Why do they have to landscape every single road island ? Couldn't they use that part to expand the road. Its like being in Mahabaleshwar - atleast the 90s one"
I would excuse those cribs as backed by home-sickness - of missing Minnesota, you know. Because it's really Gorgeous in Georgia. Yes. Don't need hoodies. People are nice. Diverse, really diverse people and all fairly nice.

Plants are on steroids. My money plant/Pothos, which grew leaf by leaf in Minnesota. Pothos node sprouting a branch was a yearly event. Those same money plants are growing in volume like bush-fire. I haven't done anything to the soil or even watered them. Its like they are soaking things from air itself.

Traffic pattern is definitely very scientifically designed everywhere. 
Right turns are without pause or Stop; not even a Yield. Yeah, Brilliant !!!
Multiple lanes in most roads. Except in some interior places, where it's single lane. So it's go-big-or-nothing attitude. 

Cars get a car-wash every night. Condensation is such that every morning cars are drenched in dew. Hence always clean. And in daytime, WE are drenched and smelly. I have been sweating from pores I did not know existed. Yet you will see walkers everywhere, all day long. The 90F in Georgia is different from 90F in Minnesota.

There are a million schools in my county alone. But there is only one trail that I know of. Alpharetta Greenway. To be fair, there are multiple entry points; hence car parking spots. But it's just one trail and with small distance on each branch too. First few weekends, I did back & forth repeatedly to meet my mileage. This weekend, the closed part showed open and I kept on going. Was so thrilled to get my long-run in one go of to-and-back.

The Greenway in itself is epic. Wide, cement trail. Creek running by the side, throughout. And covered in tree canopy throughout the stretch. Even on a humid morning, its air-conditioned. Absolutely don't need a cap, if running within the trail.

Speaking of trails, Spiderwebs are epic. EPIC. As thick as textile material. The comedy scenes of TV - where someone runs into the webs and run blind swiping at the webs, is a real life happening here.
